TWENTY -SECOND  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY. 


21 


RULES  OF  THE  SENATE. 


1.  Two-thirds  of  the  Senate  shall  constitute  a  quorum,  hut  a  smaller  number  may 
adjourn  from  day  to  day  and  compel  the  attendance  of  absent  members. 

2.  The  Senate  shall  keep  a  journal  of  its  proceedings  and  publish  them.  The 
yeas  and  nays  of  the  members  on  any  question  shall,  at  the  desire  of  any  two  of 
them,  be  entered  on  the  journals. 

3.  Any  two  members  of  the  Senate  shall  have  liberty  to  dissent  and  protest  against 
any  act  or  resolution  which  they  may  think  injurious  to  the  public  or  to  any  indi¬ 
vidual,  and  have  the  reasons  of  their  dissent  entered  on  the  journals. 

4.  The  Senate  may  punish  its  members  for  disorderly  behavior,  and  with  the  con¬ 
currence  of  two-thirds  of  all  the  members  elected,  expel  a  member,  but  not  a  second 
time  for  the  same  cause;  and  the  reason  for  such  expulsion  shall  be  entered  upon  the 
journal,  with  the  names  of  the  members  voting  on  the  question. 

5.  The  Senate,  during  its  session,  may  punish,  by  imprisonment,  any  person,  not 
a  member,  who  shall  be  guilty  of  disrespect  to  the  same,  by  any  disorderly  or  con¬ 
temptuous  behavior  in  their  presence  :  Provided,  such  imprisonment  shall  not  at  any 
one  time  exceed  twenty-four  hours. 

6.  The  doors  of  the  Senate  and  of  the  committee  of  the  whole  shall  be  kept  open, 
except  in  such  cases  as  in  the  opinion  of  the  House  require  secrecy. 

7.  The  Senate  shall  not  adjourn  without  the  consent  of  the  House  of  Representa¬ 
tives  for  more  than  two  days,  nor  to  any  other  place  than  that  in  which  the  two 
houses  shall  be  sitting. 

8.  The  vote  on  the  final  passage  of  all  bills  shall  be  by  ayes  and  noes,  and  shall 
be  entered  on  the  journal,  and  no  bill  shall  become  a  law  without  the  concurrence  of 
a  majority  of  all  the  Senators  elect. 

9.  Every  bill  shall  be  read  on  three  different  days,  unless  in  case  of  urgency  three- 
fourths  of  the  Senate  shall  deem  it  expedient  to  dispense  with  this  rule. 

10.  The  Lieutenant  Governor  shall,  by  virtue  of  his  office,  be  speaker  of  the  Sen¬ 
ate,  and  have  the  right,  when  in  committee  of  the  whole,  to  debate  and  vote  on  all 
subjects,  and  whenever  the  Senate  are  equally  divided,  to  give  the  casting  vote. 

DUTIES  OF  THE  SPEAKER. 

11.  He  shall  take  the  chair  every  day  precisely  at  the  hour  to  which  the  Senate 
shall  have  adjourned;  shall  immediately  call  the  members  to  order,  and  on  the  ap¬ 
pearance  of  a  quorum  shall  cause  the  journal  of  the  preceding  day  to  be  read ;  and 
in  all  cases  in  the  absence  of  a  quorum  the  members  present  may  take  such  measures 
as  shall  be  necessary  to  procure  the  attendance  of  absent  members,  and  the  speaker, 
with  consent  of  the  members  present,  or  in  the  absence  of  the  speaker,  any  Senator 
called  to  the  chair,  may  adjourn  from  day  to  day  until  a  quorum  shall  be  present. 

12.  He  shall  preserve  decorum  and  order;  may  speak  to  points  of  order,  in  pre¬ 
ference  to  other  members,  rising  from  his  seat  for  that  purpose,  and  shall  decide 
questions  of  order,  subject  to  an  appeal  to  the  Senate  by  any  two  members  ;  on  which 
appeal  no  member  shall  speak  more  than  once,  unless  by  leave  of  the  Senate. 

13.  He  shall  rise  to  put  a  question,  but  may  state  it  sitting. 

14.  Questions  shall  be  distinctly  put  in  this  form,  viz  :  ‘"As  many  as  are  of  the 
opinion  that — (as  the  case  may  be)  say  Aye,”  and,  after  the  affirmative  voice  is  ex¬ 
pressed,  “As  many  as  are  of  a  contrary  opinion,  say  No.”  If  the  speaker  doubt,  or 
a  division  be  called  for,  the  Senate  shall  divide  :  those  in  the  affirmative  shall  first 
rise  from  their  seats,  and  afterwards  those  in  the  negative.  If  the  speaker  still  doubt 
or  a  count  be  required,  the  speaker  shall  name  two  members — one  from  each  sido — to 
tell  the  members  in  the  affirmative,  which  being  reported,  he  shall  then  name  two 
others — one  from  each  side — to  those  in  the  negative;  which  being  also  reported,  he 
shall  rise  and  state  the  division  of  the  Senate.

RULES  OF  THE  SENATE — CONTINUED. 


15.  The  speaker  shall  examine  and  correct  the  journal  before  it  be  read ;  he  shall 
have  a  general  direction  of  the  hall ;  he  shall  have  a  right  to  name  any  member  to 
perform  the  duties  of  the  chair,  hut  such  substitution  shall  not  extend  beyond  an  ad¬ 
journment,  and  such  substitute  shall  be  vested  during  such  time  with  all  the  powers 
of  the  speaker,  and  shall  not  lose  the  right  of  voting  on  any  question  while  so  pre¬ 
siding. 

16.  All  committees  shall  be  appointed  by  the  speaker,  unless  otherwise  specially 
ordered  by  the  Senate;  in  which  case  they  shall  be  appointed  by  ballot ;  and  if  upon 
such  ballot  the  number  required  shall  not  be  elected  by  a  majority  of  the  votes  given, 
the  Senate  shall  proceed  to  a  second  ballot,  in  which  a  plurality  of  votes  shall  pre¬ 
vail  ;  and  in  case  a  greater  number  than  is  required  to  compose  or  complete  a  com¬ 
mittee  shall  have  an  equal  number  of  votes,  the  Senate  shall  proceed  to  a  further  bal¬ 
lot  or  ballots. 

17.  In  case  of  any  disturbance  or  disorderly  conduct  in  the  lobby  the  speaker  (or 
chairman  of  the  committee  of  the  whole  Senate,)  shall  have  power  to  order  the  same 
to  be  cleared. 

18.  The  speaker  shall  assign  to  the  sergeant-at'arms  and  their  assistants  their  re¬

OF  DECORUM  AND  DEBATE. 

19.  When  any  member  is  about  to  speak,  or  deliver  any  mattter  to  the  Senate,  he 
shall  rise  from  his  seat,  and  address  himself  to  “Mr.  Speaker,”  (not  moving  on  the 
floor;)  and  shall  confine  himself  to  the  question  on  debate,  and  aveid  personality. 

20.  If  any  member  in  speaking  (or  otherwise,)  transgress  the  rules  of  the  Senate, 
the  speaker  shall,  or  any  member  may  call  him  to  order ;  and  in  which  case  the 
member  so  called  to  order  shall  immediately  sit  down,  unless  permitted  to  explain  ; 
and  the  Senate,  if  appealed  to,  decide  on  the  case,  but  without  debate.  If  the  de¬ 
cision  be  in  favor  of  the  member  called  to  order,  he  shall  be  at  liberty  to  proceed ;  if 
otherwise,  and  the  case  require  it,  he  shall  be  liable  to  the  censure  of  the  Senate. 

21.  If  a  member  be  called  to  order  for  words  spoken  in  debate,  the  person  calling 
him  to  order  shall  repeat  the  words  excepted  to,  and  they  shall  be  taken  down  at  the 
clerk’s  table,  and  no  member  shall  be  held  to  answer  or  be  subject  to  the  censure  of 
the  Senate  for  words  spoken  in  debate  after  any  member  has  spoken  in  debate  or 
other  business  has  intervened  after  the  words  spoken,  and  before  exception  to  them 
shall  have  been  taken. 

22.  When  two  or  more  members  happen  to  rise  at  once,  the  speaker  shall  name 
the  member  who  is  first  to  speak. 

23.  No  member  shall  speak  more  than  twice  to  the  same  question,  without  leave 
of  the  Senate ;  nor  more  than  once,  until  every  member  choosing  to  speak  shall 
have  spoken. 

24.  While  the  speaker  is  putting  any  question,  or  addressing  the  Senate,  no  mem¬ 
ber  shall  walk  out  of  or  across  the  room ;  nor  in  such  case,  or  when  a  member  is 
speaking  shall  entertain  private  discourse ;  nor  when  a  member  is  speaking  shall 
pass  between  him  and  the  chair. 

25.  Every  member  who  shall  be  in  the  Senate  when  a  question  is  put  shall  give 
his  vote,  unless  the  Senate  shall,  for  special  reasons,  excuse  him. 

26.  No  member  shall  be  permitted  to  vote  on  any  question  unless  within  the  bar
